Bit dissapointed with the yield up to now, probably get between1.5 ounces to 2 ounces alltogether. Maybe thats ok for cfl's ?!

Low yield mainly because of the light penetration, cfls arent penetrating at all so all the lower buds didnt develop much, so next time i shall try that technique where you train your plants to grow on their sides, well bent over. Not sure what the name for the technique is though..anyone ?

frostedwonder, i could highly reccomend the cfl for vegging small plants. I have a 300 watt bulb cfl for that which works wonders although the 250watt flowering light doesn't really cut the bread. The bulb was around $65-70 or £35. I would definately stick with the hps and mh ! Also i have no idea when i have to change bulbs. I think they degrade slowly but my lamp is around 20,000 lumens.

Picture time..( i will upload some better pics when i have dried all the colas) and my overall harvest weight!

Colas are drying of line upside down and little buds are on a suspended net - pics soon

anyway...

next grows is going to be Vanilla kush and LSD. (done with the bend over technique to help light penetration!)

Man dont under estimate your grow. We grow and learn and thats all we can do. Your next go-round will be better and so on... So, id be proud of what ya got and take it into the next one. We started at the same time and i have at least a month to go. I did have problems, but if i can get an oz, il be thrilled.
But il bet you had a blast with your grow and that only gets you pumped up for the next grow, as it sounds like a good one. Just let me know my man, cuz il be tuned in:thumbsup:
